After Pei Xingjian returned from Anxi, although he had a lot of interactions with Chen Yi, he had never visited Chen Yi's mansion in person. The two had dated privately, mostly because Chen Yi went to visit him, or made an appointment to visit restaurants, tea rooms and other places outside. One of the reasons for this was because Chen Yi was a junior, and he should not visit him in any way. Of course, this was not the main reason, and the main factor was because of his caution. After Anxi, he was more careful, especially after being entrusted with a higher position, for fear that people would be considered as a clique for personal gain, so he rarely visited others' mansions and did not receive visitors in his mansions, unless those who were very close to each other. However, there are always exceptions in everything, for the first time. When Chen Yi just returned from the palace, Pei Xingjian came to visit him.

Chen Yi, who knew why Pei Xingjian was today, was not polite and invited Pei Xingjian to the study to speak.

After entering the study, Pei Xingjian did not say anything politely and directly got to the point: "Ziying, I believe you know why someone came today!"

"Many ministers in the court jointly wrote a letter asking the Crown Prince Li Xian to be the emperor and respect Your Majesty as the emperor. Such a big thing happened. As the Minister of the current dynasty who respected all officials, how could he be alone in this matter!" Chen Yi stared at Pei Xingjian, who looked a little strange than before, and said with a smile: "Brother Shouyou will not come to me today. I also want to go to your mansion as soon as possible to ask you for information!"

Pei Xingjian did not report a joint report on this matter, which did not surprise Chen Yi. After experiencing great storms, the famous Tang minister who was convicted for his words must have learned from his mistakes. Before he was indeed sure to do something, especially a major event that is likely to determine his future and destiny, it is impossible to make a decision and show his position. Chen Yi believes that this important minister of the dynasty must know about this matter, at least to a certain extent, who would like to report a joint report. The matter of demanding that the crown prince Li Xian be the emperor and respect Li Zhi be the emperor, a person who led the matter lobbying, but was

Pei Xingjian refused. This also shows that Pei Xingjian did not agree to let the crown prince ascend the throne and replace Li Zhi and Wu Zetian with the people who handled the affairs of the court. Pei Xingjian's reason for such a decision must be very complicated. Chen Yi of course wanted to know what this person who treated him like a senior thought and how he viewed this matter. He would make a statement. If Pei Xingjian did not come to visit him, he would also visit him today and ask this person who was like a senior to have an idea. It was just unexpected that Pei Xingjian came to visit him before him. Since the two met, they talked about this topic. If they didn't make it clear today, they would not give up.

"It seems that I'm not in a hurry to deal with this matter!" Hearing Chen Yi's joke, he said very easily. Pei Xingjian, who had watched Chen Yi for a while, also laughed. He was a very smart person. Of course, he could understand what it meant from Chen Yi's words and tone of speaking. Chen Yi is a person who is very close to Wu Zetian. After this incident, Chen Yi must have been summoned by Wu Zetian to ask about the matter. Chen Yi looked relaxed and had a scent of teasing when he spoke. That means that this matter is not very serious, or Wu Zetian has already said that it is not very serious.

There was a countermeasure, otherwise it would not be possible. In this matter, it was difficult for him to make a decision. In terms of the matter, from the perspective of the Li Tang, he, an important minister of the dynasty, should stand up and follow the memorials of Dai Zhide and others. When the emperor was unable to take charge of the ministers, it was understandable that it was suggested that the crown prince Li Xian ascend the throne. But he also knew that in this matter, there was no such easy way to achieve his purpose. How could Wu Zetian, who had grasped the government for so long, easily agree to pass the throne to the crown prince? Especially when the emperor was still there and had not passed away.

He believed that Wu Zetian would refute the memorial and would denounce the court officials who submitted the memorial, and even demoted a lot of people. It is not certain that the matter is serious and bloody.

As an important official in the court, although Pei Xingjian felt that it was reasonable to let the crown prince ascend the throne, Li Xian was appointed as the crown prince for a long time and had no experience in supervising the country. At this point, there was no way to go against the former crown prince Li Hong. If Li Xian ascended the throne, Wu Zetian would leave nothing. With Li Xian's weaker temperament than Li Zhi, no one knew what the court would look like, and whether the stable and prosperous world would become a bunch of porridge. Pei Xingjian admitted that the Tang Dynasty became increasingly powerful in recent years, and the people were wealthy were basically Wu Zetian's achievements. Li Zhi was in good health and had not personally handled state affairs for many years. In recent years, a series of new policies were implemented under the strong implementation of Wu Zetian. Pei Xingjian personally felt that with a tough person like Wu Zetian, he would have been much more obedient in the court.

Wu Zetian was in power, and the forces of various factions in the court were basically balanced. However, once the emperor and the ministers of Li Xian ascended the throne, there would definitely be great troubles in the palace. Some people would rise up and some people would go down, and no one knew whether they were unlucky or lucky. There was also a possibility of chaos in the court, or Wu Zetian was unwilling to lose power and interfered in the government again. Those factions fought each other and the whole world was in chaos.

If there is one method that Pei Xingjian is the most difficult to accept, that is, Li Xian grew up slowly under the training of many Eastern Palace officials, and had the experience of supervising the country to handle court affairs, and could act arbitrarily and have the ability to take charge of the whole world. At this time, Li Zhi still could not get up to govern the matter, so he would fully support Li Xian ascend the throne to the throne, but that should be a few years later, not now.

As one of the Eastern Palace Palace, Pei Xingjian had contacted Li Xian many times and knew that the prince was far from his brothers in all aspects. He was too young and had no experience as a director of the state. If he had been appointed now, the affairs of the court would definitely be led by some ministers of Gushi. He could clearly see that the few people in charge of this incident were aimed at the position of Gushi.

When Dai Zhide, Hao Chujun, Zhang Wenguan, Li Yiyan and others wanted to submit a joint report, almost forcing the palace to propose that the court should change the crown prince Li Xian as emperor and respect Li Zhi as the emperor, someone came to Pei Xingjian to talk about this matter and wanted him to submit a joint report. The person who came to Pei Xingjian to say that Dai Zhide, who also served in the Shangshu Province, was the descendant of the famous Zhenguan minister Dai Zhou, tried his best to persuade Pei Xingjian, hoping that he, the Shangshu Zuo Pushe, who was the first of all officials, could stand up and lead the matter, but was eventually rejected by Pei Xingjian. The reason given by Pei Xingjian was that it was not the time. If the empress Wu Zetian was forced to pass the throne to the crown prince Li Xian, it would only cause chaos in the court, and hope that others would not act impulsively. The final result of the talks was that it was unhappy, and Dai Zhide almost left without a smile.

However, the forced palace still happened. The good show led by several heavyweight prime ministers such as Dai Zhide, Hao Chujun, Zhang Wenguan, Li Yiyan, etc. was officially staged. Pei Xingjian was still worried about this matter and came to Chen Yi to talk to him as soon as possible. After a few sentences, he guessed that Wu Zetian had already had an idea, and it was even possible that this idea was provided by Chen Yi, and he felt relieved.

Chen Yi, who had already felt that Pei Xingjian understood something from his words and tone, personally brewed a cup of hot tea, brought it to Pei Xingjian, and lowered his voice and said, "Brother Shouyou, even if you come to my house today, I can't hide those things from you. Let's tell you the truth. The Empress will definitely not agree to this matter, even if there are many ministers who jointly submit the memorial!"

"Oh?! Why should I say it?" Pei Xingjian was full of interest.

Chen Yi leaned down and tried to approach Pei Xingjian, and lowered his voice: "Because Your Majesty has shown signs of improvement recently, Your Majesty has been able to get up with the help of the palace servants, and his mind has recovered a little. However, the Empress was afraid that Your Majesty would be alarmed. After hearing the news, the ministers went to visit him and disturbed His Majesty's rest. He did not dare to spread this matter. The Empress hoped that Your Majesty could continue to rest and invited Master Sun to the palace to continue to treat Your Majesty in order to completely cure Your Majesty's illness. The Empress believed that Your Majesty would recover one day and get back to deal with state affairs again!"

"Ah?!" Pei Xingjian's body was shocked, his face full of incredible surprise, and he hurriedly asked: "Zi Ying, is there really such a thing? Does Your Majesty show signs of recovery?"

"Brother Shouyou, how could I lie to you?" Chen Yi said, straightening his body and smiling mysteriously, "The Empress had repeatedly told me about this matter that the news should not be leaked before His Majesty has truly recovered. However, many ministers jointly submitted a letter to change the crown prince and honor His Majesty as the emperor and respect His Majesty as the emperor, the Empress will definitely change her mind. Maybe Brother Shouyou and other ministers will come to the palace to visit His Majesty and personally take a look at His Majesty's physical recovery situation!"

"That's great!" Chen Yi said this, and Pei Xingjian would not believe it. Almost instantly, he believed that the position he took on this matter was correct. He put down a big stone in his heart, and laughed twice: "This is a blessing. Your Majesty has the opportunity to recover and may also get up to handle the court affairs himself. Then the proposal to change the crown prince as emperor and respect Your Majesty as the emperor will have no meaning, but...ah..."

Pei Xingjian's last "but" and a long sigh expressed his concern about this matter. If the emperor's health was really recovering soon, the Empress Wu Zetian would not let the ministers in the court who proposed to change the crown prince to the emperor. These people who were determined to force the palace could not continue to hold their original positions. It is certain that they were demoted and removed from office. Maybe someone would be even more unlucky. Thinking that there would be another huge storm in the court in the near future, Pei Xingjian was very worried.
